Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Damn, it’s this kid again! (Second Update)_1

After He Daoming’s announcement, he opened the brocade box. Ren Feifan could clearly feel Elder Ye next to him inhaling sharply.

Inside the brocade box was half of a key, which gleamed eerily in the lamplight.

Suddenly, Ren Feifan felt a trembling within his mystical space. After careful inspection, his expression turned drastically!

He recognized the key. While others couldn’t, Ren Feifan could, because he already possessed the other half!

He had obtained half of the key after killing Old Master Ma of Lin City and Li Deren.

Now, the half key in his mystical space was obviously attracted by a similar energy.

Ren Feifan quickly suppressed the agitation in his mystical space. Initially, he didn’t plan to compete with Elder Ye, but now he was adamant on obtaining the key half.

With everyone’s attention clearly on the contents of the brocade box, He Daoming closed it again. However, the entire hall remained stiflingly silent as not a single person placed a bid. Hesitant murmurs filled the silence.

Everyone seemed to struggle to determine what price to call out for such an object.

While its value didn’t match that of the bracelet, it was still a crazy high price.

Watching everyone hesitate to place a bid, Ren Feifan was at a loss for words. He thought, Isn’t the bidding supposed to start low?

If you’re not going to bid, then let me start!

"One yuan!"

Ren Feifan’s voice echoed throughout the entire hall, but instead of inciting a bidding war, it provoked an eerie silence.

Almost everyone immediately looked towards the source of the sound on the second floor.

The sight that greeted them was surprising. Oh my God, it’s that guy again!

He’s literally everywhere!

This guy can’t just sit still, always causing a ruckus!

A minute passed, and no one else put forth a bid. They were simply too shocked by Ren Feifan’s opening price of one yuan. They were unable to recover from their shock.

Beads of sweat rolled down He Daoming’s forehead. This was a highly valued auction piece. If it were auctioned off at one yuan to Ren Feifan, it would be a catastrophic embarrassment, and it could jeopardize his entire career as an auctioneer.

Bound by the auction rules, He Daoming was compelled to continue:

"One yuan, once!"

"One yuan, twice..."

With each call, He Daoming’s face started spasming. The absurdity of the situation was alarming.

Ren Feifan’s eyes widened in disbelief. He thought, Am I really going to win this thing for one yuan? What a bargain!

The next second, a cold voice came from behind him: "Two yuan!"

He Daoming felt a moment of joy at hearing another bid, however, his relief quickly turned into despair as he heard the absurdly low bid.

He felt humiliated by this auction.

Could you please stop bidding in increments of one yuan!? My heart can’t take this stress!

Ren Feifan turned around, only to see Ye Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes watching him with great interest. Ye Qingcheng stroked a lock of her hair and smiled faintly at him. The sight of her was enough to captivate anyone.

"You... if you didn’t bid, I’d have won for just one yuan!" Ren Feifan remarked, somewhat helpless.

Ye Qingcheng laughed softly: "Did you really think you could get it for one yuan? Everyone else was just about to react. If I hadn’t bid someone else would have. Besides, even if you’re Ren Feifan, my Ye Family is determined to have this brocade box. There’s no room for sentiment in an auction."

Meanwhlile, on the second floor, in another private room, a captivating man sat with two black-robed subordinates standing behind him. The man wore a mask and on his hand was tattooed a black spider. If Ren Feifan saw it, he would be shocked to learn that it was a symbol of the Thousand Poison Door!

The man had his eyes fixed on the brocade box in front of He Daoming. He clenched his fist, corners of his mouth curved in a grim smile, murmuring, "Those who the Thousand Poison Door wants dead, never live. And, what we want, no one can take from us!"

Ren Feifan, standing in the corridor, raised his bid to three yuan while exchanging banter with Ye Qingcheng. At the same time, his mind was racing. He had a hunch that something about this auction was not quite right.

When he was at the Ma Family house, Old Master Ma had mentioned that the key half had been passed down through their family’s generations. The Ma family used to be one of the great families, with history spanning dozens of generations. However, over time they gradually became just a minor family in Lin City.

If Old Master Ma hadn’t been certain that he couldn’t protect the key half, he wouldn’t have brought it out.

This proved its preciousness. But now such an important item was at an auction?

The more Ren Feifan thought about it, the more suspicious he became. He believed this was not simply an auction. There had to be a deeper motive behind it!

It could even be a trap to lure out others who hold the other half of the key!

He Daoming let out a long sigh, slowly picked up the hammer, and called out, "Three yuan, once!"

He could hardly believe the absurdity of the situation. He thought, If you all keep bidding one yuan at a time, I’ll go hoarse from all the shouting.

"Five million!" a voice suddenly broke the silence, shooting the price up by millions in an instant.

"Well, finally a normal price. I’ll jump in too. Eight million!"

With the two bids reverberating through the hall, everyone else finally woke from their daze, joining the bidding frenzy. The number of bidders increased, and so did the price.

...

"Ninety million!"

"One hundred million!"

...

The price exceeded one hundred million, and Ren Feifan stopped bidding. Not only was his capital inadequate, but he also smelt something fishy. Observing Elder Ye and Ye Qingcheng continuing to bid, he shook his head, then turned to Xu Shihan and asked:

"Do you know who consigned the item for auction?"

Xu Shihan hesitated and shook her head: "I usually don’t ask about the auction details. My Dad wouldn’t tell me either. Plus, revealing info on the consignor is a major taboo in auctions. Any breach would result in severe punishment!"

Ren Feifan could do nothing but drop the matter, continuing to watch the proceedings.

Sometime later, Zhou Chenglong also returned to the hall looking somewhat pale. He began prompting people around him to bid.

It seemed that Zhou Chenglong also came to the auction for the key half.

Could he have half of the key too?

It was highly likely.

The price kept escalating. When it hit ten billion, there were only three bidders left: Zhou Chenglong, Elder Ye, and a man in the suite on the second floor.

In the end, Elder Ye made the winning bid for a whopping seventeen billion!

This showed the formidable resources of the Ye family in the capital city. Seventeen billion was almost as much as the capital city’s richest man possessed!

For some reason, Ren Feifan felt a bit worried for Elder Ye. Winning the key half at the auction would definitely make him a target of various hidden forces. But thankfully, the Ye family held significant power in the capital city, and Elder Ye had the backing of the skilled bodyguard, Chang Fuxi. Ren Feifan could only hope things would turn out alright.

The auction ended on a high note!

About five minutes later, Xu Zhenhua knocked on the door of the private room!
